The word or concept of 'toxins' may seem like an urban myth, a word the health industry has come up with to convince us to undergo detox diets and programs. However, evidence suggests that the presence of toxins within our environment are, in fact, very real.

The Nemours Foundation describes body toxins as, "A toxin is a chemical or poison that is known to have harmful effects on the body. Toxins can come from food or water, from chemicals used to grow or prepare food, and even from the air that we breathe. Our bodies process those toxins through organs like the liver and kidneys and eliminate them in the form of sweat, urine, and feces."

We have included a chart here to dissect the various forms of toxins into different categories, making it easier to identify their sources and health risks involved.
